Sinatra Application Template

A base Sinatra application template. Just fork and build. Yay! Includes Bundler, DataMapper, and RSpec, all ready to go.

Configuration

Dependencies and all configuration is done in <tt>environment.rb</tt>. Your database is also set up here. DataMapper will use sqlite3 by default. Tests use the sqlite3-memory adapter (no configuration needed).

Add your controller actions in <tt>application.rb</tt>. Views for these actions are placed in the <tt>views</tt> directory. Static files, including a stock stylesheet, go in the <tt>public</tt> directory. Models go in the <tt>lib</tt> directory and are auto-loaded.

Environment variables that you want to expose to your application can be added in <tt>.env</tt>

Testing

Add your specs in <tt>spec</tt>; just require <tt>spec_helper.rb</tt> to pre-configure the test environment. A number of samples are provided (including a sample model, which can be removed). To run the specs:

bundle exec rake spec

Getting Started

bundle install
bundle exec foreman start

Extras

We've included a handy <tt>console</tt> script that fires up irb with your environment loaded. To load it, use the Rake task:

bundle exec rake console
